Laravel 5.1 + LaravelCollective HTML and Form = Forms broken about html

[adamgoose]

Can you please paste the entirety of your form source? I'm unable to reproduce the issue.

[SoftwareGuy]

Sure thing. Paste inbound.

Okay, a couple more things I'd like to see.

• Your config/app.php file. Please make sure to obfuscate your app's secret key.
• The output of running the command composer show --installed
